Demeco is hesitant on defense. He doesn't bring pressure until the opposing team cross the 50 yd line. He has to learn to bring it consistently.
Blaming DeMeco when he stuck with Nelson or Thomas or Pitre in coverage … they’ve brought in other players to try and pickup the coverage opposite Stingley and Ward
We have injuries to SEVERAL of our best players. Not to mention the fact that those teams ALL have better overall rosters than we do! CJ has just been making us look better than we actually are.
You can't do that every play, teams will recognize it and pick you apart. 4 man rush has to be able to get pressure, and ours can't.
Middle of our line is a weakness for pass rush - Rankins is decent but can’t do it consistently … I would like if he moved Greenard and WAJ around on line more…
Yeah it's stupid to keep running those type of screens, don't have WRs play makers right now. No passes to TEs yet, pass to rb out the back field in space, etc. None of this is what's going on is giving the team a chance.
I cannot describe in further detail how much an interior lineman who can collapse the middle would help this defense.
